"Too High Expectations" - Teacher Commits Suicide After Being Worked To Death


Story out of Rochdale, England:

Laurian Bold became overwhelmed by the huge workload put on her after she was promoted, with a coroner criticising the school for not stepping in to support her.

The inquest heard that the 31-year-old had been appointed as an Assistant Head of Department at Hollingworth Academy at Rochdale, Greater Manchester, also having to keep up with her other class work.

The stressed teacher soon began to suffer from rashes and lose her hair from the stress, going on sick leave for two months after three weeks in her new role.

But just a day after returning to work, the teacher pulled her car over onto the hard shoulder of the M62 on the Rakewell Viaduct on the morning of February 26, clambered onto the barrier and jumped 140 feet to her death.

Coroner Lisa Hashimi recorded a verdict of suicide and said whilst she accepted the school had not made ”major errors”, senior colleagues had ”too high expectations” of Miss Bold. Cont.
